Steele Contacted About Returning to Huskers

[ColoNoCoHusker]

Steele >>>>>>>>>> Els.

 

Knapp needs make this happen - bake some cookies, send some sloots, 2 ton pallets of Metamucil, whatever it takes . **

 

Best news I've heard all day!!!

 

** Or whatever things Knapp was into at that age...

Contacted as LB or DC?

 

Hard to see why he would leave Alabama for a lateral move here unless he gets a little more $$$ and has nostalgic pangs for Nebraska.

[Chaddyboxer]

Probably be looked at as a DC I bet..

Did he do well at Clemson or Bama as a DC?...

Based on Riley'd comments on hiring his staff and position coaches, I'd say he's being looked at for the LB coach.

Outside of money, why would he want to leave bama for here?

I'm not sure. But just for a reference he is making about $200,000 a year at Bama.

 

Actually he's making $700,000 a year

 

 

 

Linebackers coach Kevin Steele will make $700,000 in a contract through February 2016.

Thanks, I could only find when he was just the recruiting guy.

He got fired from Clemson...

Who's saying he would be the DC?

 

Sorry, misunderstood.

[HuskerinSunDiego]

If he's making $700k a year, he's not coming here to be LBs coach.

You never know...

 

Recruiting is the lifeblood of programs. Every time so far I've read about an assistant or coordinator making big salary, they've also had special reputation as a recruiter. If you're going to open the checkbook, recruiting is something to invest in.

 

Probably also reinforces it to the coaches on the staff: if you want to increase your value, get after it on the trail.

$700,000 is a nice chunk for a LB coach! Wow!

[shyndy]

Bama has been paying for what they've gotten. We need to do the same IMO.

[Hedley Lamarr]

What does everyone think about Steele as Co DC/LB Coach/Co RC at 900k and Ed Orgeron as Co DC/DL coach/ co RC at 900k?

[skersfan]

I have been saying that for years. The current big dogs do it different. Bama is the mother ship on this. You get Steele here, we can come back quickly. He knows the ropes, how to sell, who to sell (MOM) and who to make adequate (DAD). He is making that money because of the recruiting side, period. Never seen, but hear about it all the time on, yea I know the Finebaum show, but not from Paul, but people working with in that system. Nebraska can do this, especially with the Big 10 money coming in. We most likely need to spend another 20% due to location.

 

Anxious to see what the staff ends up looking like.
